WELCOME

That’s right! Fourth Fridays have reopened!

Every Fourth Friday is a celebration of community and the arts at the Council for the Arts in downtown Jacksonville, NC.

Open mic for musicians, singers, and poets

Artists can network and bring artwork to share

Art activities for the whole family

This event is open to the public and free to attend, though donations are appreciated and used to keep events like this going.

**For the safety of our patrons, we encourage participants to wear a mask. If you choose to attend this event unmasked, it is at your own risk.

#KeepOnslowCreative is more than a hashtag, it’s a call to action for members of our community to join with us to support the arts here in Onslow County.

Supporting artists, art education, and arts experiences here in Onslow County mean you are investing in our community’s cultural diversity, economic health, and educational growth.

As part of the Creative Forces: NEA Military Healing Arts Network , we are also learning that the arts can be powerful avenue for healthy living. The members of our Creative Forces Open Studio share with us that being creative on a regular basis in a supportive and non-judgemental community has a positive impact on their lives.
